All young men can relate to that moment where they have to - or, rather, attempt to - stand up to their dads with their own ideas of what they want for their own lives.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My father felt that children should make their own way.
When I was growing up my mother would say, 'Your dad may have to learn about being a father because he lost his own and that would have affected him'.
Some men don't have the opportunity to be the type of father they need to be, and I hope my example teaches them to step up.
Most every young man either takes inspiration from his father or wishes he could. I was fortunate in that I could.
Fathers in today's modern families can be so many things.
Young men are obsessed with their dads, and they remain obsessed if the dad is not around. Remember that there was a lot of discussion about how George W. Bush might have invaded Iraq to atone for the failures of his dad.
Young people know how important it is for dads to be involved in their lives. As I travel the country and talk with students, some of them tell me that their lives would be totally different if their father was around.
I think everyone thinks their dad is a little bit odd or crazy. As they get older, they develop their own little habits. They have a certain way that they like to live their life, and nothing is going to interrupt that.
Each father wants their sons to be just like them, really.
A dramatic thing, the first time you stand up to your dad.
